Hey Friends,
Thanks for the leads! Much appreciated. Roger, the Hulse poems are in The Secret History, and are titled "Homecoming," "The Kid," "The Wind at Vinci," "To Our Unborn Daughter," and "The Secret History." I think they are fantastic poems, and he's a remarkable writer.
Best, Tony

In Donald Hall's The Museum of Clear Ideas you'll find the poem "Baseball," written in nine "innings," each consisting of nine stanzas, each stanza having nine lines of nine syllables.
At the end of the volume he appends three "Extra Innings." The tenth inning has ten stanzas of ten lines of ten syllables each; the eleventh has eleven stanzas of eleven lines of eleven syllables, and the twelfth--well, you get the picture.

There's also Plath's clever "Metaphors."

Thanks, Peter and Sam! I'm spending several weeks on ghazals, haiku, haiku stanzas, Marianne Moore syllabic stanzas, tanka stanzas and word count poetry for the first time this term, trying to ease the students into accentual-syllabics. So far, it seems to be working okay. All these leads help--great to have good examples!
Best, Tony
